Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsYou evil people have destroyed Ben Carson. I hope you are happy now.
You just couldn't let this matter rest, could you? All this fine, smart man wanted was to become President of the United States. And you ruined it.
You can't just let people be happy, oh No, No, No. You have to dig and double-check and look for weaknesses and failures. You are so petty and small-minded and evil.
I mean, we are all just humans after all! What if I started questioning YOUR story how you were a murderous psychopath as a child? Would you like that? Hmm?
No, you wouldn't.
It would be basic courtesy to take Ben Carson's word for it that he indeed was a psychopath or that he was at West Point or that the tombs of the egyptian pharaoh's are really grain-silos or that Obamacare is slavery or that welfare is slavery or that a space-program named after a pagan god made it to the Moon because the US has a special friendship with the christian god or that ISIS is like the Founding Fathers or that Republicans are the good guys because of Lincoln and the Democrats are the bad guys because of the KKK or that Obama is intentionally destroying the country.
But No.
That wasn't good enough for you.
You had to poke and tease until you find some minor fail you could blow out of proportion.
It's just like Ben Carson's campaign said to CNN when they couldn't corroborate facts from his biography: This is a witchhunt.
This is a farce, you are evil people and you have destroyed a good man who could have become the first real black President of the US.
I hope you are happy now.

(23,946 posts)Details and facts and science are being unfairly used....how is a religious kook supposed to get any respect then?
I thought Fox had perfected the Victimhood Syndrome, but Dr. Stabby seems to have outdone them.

(23,946 posts)catch up to all of them and their "policies" once details are required....sooner to actual voting and not polling.
That GOP voters in Iowa and NH would vote for Mr. 10-10-10 is as likely as voters going for Mr. 9-9-9..... remember that guy....both cut from the same religious kook cloth and equally as bright.

(23,946 posts)fresh air and light that it makes Dr. Stabby's closet look like it is full of saints.
When the field of dreamers is whittled away to those that have the money to survive the never ending campaign the boatloads of ad money unleashed will swamp Trump, or anyone else without the money, in his own manure.

After all, David Vitter's still around.
